Galina-37 [17]4 years ago
8 0
The speed of a particle is the instantaneous rate at which its distance of travel
is changing.

Over any finite period of time, its speed is:

               (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

The direction of travel is irrelevant to a description of speed.

Power (physics) In physics, power is the rate of doing work, the amount of energy transferred per unit time. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine condenser.

vodka [1.7K]
Electroscope is the instrument that has the ability to detect the presence of an electric charge. Although electroscope has the power to measure the amount of charge, but for a perfect measurement the electrometer is used. Around the year 1600, electroscope was discovered by William Gilbert he British physician. This is a pretty primitive but highly effective instrument in regards to detecting the presence of electric charges. Two basic but effective electroscopes are the gold-leaf electroscope and the pith-ball electroscope.

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?
katrin2010 [14]
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

How are electrical charges similar to magnets?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The two types of forces are related; a moving magnet can make electrical charges move, cause an electric current, and in turn cause magnetism. ... Objects that have the same charge, both positive or both negative, repel each other, and those with opposite charges attract each other.

With each bounce off the floor, a tennis ball loses 18% of its mechanical energy due to friction. When the ball is released from
lora16 [44]

Answer:

130 cm

Explanation:

After each bounce, the mechanical energy decreases by 18%, which means the maximum height decreases by 18%.  Modeling this as exponential decay:

h = 290 (1 − 0.18)ⁿ

h = 290 (0.82)ⁿ

h = 290 (0.82)⁴

h = 130

The ball reaches a height of 130 cm.
